With worries that Kenyan students are falling farther and farther behind their colleagues on information communication and technology (ICT), the country's leading telecom operator Safaricom, and Huawei have agreed to a deal with three universities to bolster ICT education among engineering students. In the agreement, Huawei is to invest the start-up funding for the program that aims to equip Kenyan students with the most recent telecom skills. According to a press release published by Wireless Federation, “the agreement will also ensure students from Moi, Jomo Kenyatta University of Agricultural and Technology (JKUAT) and Nairobi Universities will benefit from advanced training in the latest telecommunications technologies through Huawei East Africa's training center in Nairobi.” According to the agreement, some 4,500 students have already earned training certificates from the training center through the end of last year. The new program will develop new curriculum to be implemented for the students' education. BM
